Turn all off. Everything. The whole lot. Pull the mains plugs.

Change your connections. Go direct from PS4 to the TV.

Switch on TV, then then the PS4. Make sure the correct HDMI input is selected on the TV. Tell me if you get no image.

Assuming you get an image on the TV from the console, next, go to the PS4 audio setup menus and check that it's putting out PCM Stereo only. This is the common plays-on-anything digital audio standard. Your telly will work with that. It may also work with DD5.1, but lets stick to the basics.

See if you get picture and sound on the TV. If you do then move on to the next step, which is adding the de-embedder box. You must switch all off again; everything in standby or not yet powered on.

Add the de-embedder, switch the audio selector to PASS, then power up and check for sound on the TV.

If good, power all down. Flick the switch to 2CH and hook up the Optical to the audio system. At this stage I'm not sure if the TV will lose sound or it gets sound along with the stereo system. I haven't seen the instructions. But you're now checking you get picture on the TV and sound on the surround kit.

Finally. all in to standby again, then switch over to 5.1, power up, and then set the PS4 to give DD5.1


I know this is a lot of powering on and powering off, but it's just to establish a known set of steps so that all the gear is talking the right language. One you get in to the routine you'll power all off, make the hardware and physic switch changes in one hit, then power on and just set the PS4 audio to whatever is needed for either the TV alone or the surround kit.
 
First of all, thanks for your help. I appreciate it so much.

Right, i can get EVERYTHING working great using the TV.

However, it was purchased so we can use the projector. I have tried everything i can think of and the PJ gets no source found every time, also, the sound system plays no sound from the PS4.

So when i have it splugged in to the PJ i get no sound nor a TV signal.
When in TV - everything is fine.

Any thoughts?
thanks
 
Thanks for the info.

I do of course realise it was purchased for the projector. You have the advantage of having the gear there first hand, whereas me and the rest of the forum are working only from the info in your posts, so forgive me if this is a bit like baby steps. I just need to establish a working base line, which you've now help me do.

I take it there's no issue going direct from the PS4 to the projector. You get a picture and sound via the pj speaker? This establishes whether there's a cable or source selection issue that's arisen coincident to the arrival of the de-embedder.

How is it if you set up the de-embedder with shorter HDMI cables? I realise this isn't practical from a day-to-day operational POV, it's another test to establish if it's having issues driving a longer cable.
 
Project work okay though with either short or long cable connected with no de-embedder in the signal path?
